Data Breach Reporting Readiness
The playbook, thresholds and rehearsed response that turn a breach from chaos into a controlled, timely process.
A complete breach-response capability — detection triage, severity thresholds, regulator and data-subject notification logic, and a rehearsed incident playbook aligned to PDPL notification obligations and ADHICS requirements for healthcare entities.
The instinct in the first hours of a breach is almost always to under-communicate and over-investigate. That is exactly backwards under PDPL. Organisations that have never rehearsed a breach lose the first, most critical hours deciding who has authority to act.
- Define breach severity thresholds and the decision tree for regulator and data-subject notification.
- Build the cross-functional response team structure — legal, security, communications, executive.
- Draft notification templates pre-approved by legal, ready to adapt under time pressure.
- Run a live tabletop exercise with your actual incident team, not a generic scenario.
- —A breach response playbook mapped to PDPL and ADHICS notification timeframes
- —Pre-approved regulator and data-subject notification templates
- —A tested RACI for breach decision-making, including out-of-hours escalation
- —A tabletop exercise report with named improvement actions
3–5 weeks to build the playbook; a tabletop exercise typically runs half a day.
CISOs, Incident Handlers, DPOs and Boards who need certainty that the organisation will act correctly and on time when — not if — an incident occurs.
We rehearse this with your real team, on your real systems, until the muscle memory is there. A playbook nobody has practised is a document, not a capability.
